Question:
You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?
Answer: 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x
First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)
Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)
If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish
Then,
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish
Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish
1/ 10 of 40
= ( 1/10) × 40
= 4 miles
Answer:
128/15 min or 8.5 min
Step-by-step explanation:
By using unitary method,
Time required to paint 5/8 of wall = 16 min.
Time required to paint 1/1 of wall = 16×8/5
Hence, Time required to paint 1/3 of wall = 16×8/5×1/3
Answer:
m∠QPM=43°
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
m∠NPQ=m∠MPN+m∠MPQ
we have
m∠NPQ=(9x-25)°
m∠MPN=(4x+12)°
m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°
substitute the given values and solve for x
(9x-25)°=(4x+12)°+(3x-5)°
(9x-25)°=(7x+7)°
9x-7x=25+7
2x=32
x=16
Find the measure of angle QPM
Remember that
m∠QPM=m∠MPQ
m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°
substitute the value of x
m∠MPQ=(3(16)-5)=43°
therefore
m∠QPM=43°
The integer 8 represents a gain of 8 yards.
